After making just seven starts for the Houston Astros since returning from the IL back on May 4th, Houston places starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. on the 15-Day IL with a right foot sprain. Jason Alexander gets the call from Triple-A to fill McCullers’ spot on the roster.
After making his first start since the 2022 season thanks to constant injuries, McCullers finds himself back on the IL on the same night he was scheduled to take the mound against the A’s. Ryan Gusto will start in his spot.
So far, McCullers was putting together a nice season for himself.
